- February 02, 2011, 12:19:26 PMThought about customizing the thing some so I can use it. I might get inspired to try some rework on it when it warmes up a bit. I can probably make it work. That would be good,cuz it really is a good looking piece,It would look very good with where my Drifter is at this point. I have pix. of my bike in the gallery if you are interested. Very good looking Drifter if I don't say so myself. Thanks for the thoughts.

- January 28, 2011, 21:55:12 PMHey Goombah, sorry you got stuck with the seat rail. If I remember , it didn't fit you seat. It may not be a direct fit but can you " make " it work? If it's even close , fire up the torch , bend the brackets to fit, or make a bracket , paint the part black if it discolours ect. But maybe you can still come out ahead instead of being p**ssed each time you see it sitting there. Just a thought.

- January 28, 2011, 17:37:05 PMYou're probably right Chief,that's why you're the chief and we're the indians. I have kind of realized it will NEVER sell, so,for the winter mo. just to kind of slow myself down a bit when puttsing around out in my 3 place garage, I have tied a short rope to the rail,then tie it to a belt loop and just drag the thing around behind me. Of course it is always snagging me with some other important piece of crap in the garage.Here is the beauty in it. Getting all tangled up with the thing is what slows me to where I can enjoy my garage,and enjoy my seat rail. I have also become quite fond of the clanging noises It announces as it anchors me to something heavy,or the crashing noise closely resembling a horrfic wreck as I hook into something I can reel in, like the catch of the day. I am thinking maybe you have hit this thing head on,and I should raise the price just a wee bit. Thanks, Goombah.
